Do you need a place to store your large ice spheres/balls or cubes? I know I do! Pratico Kitchen comes to the rescue! They have come out with a storage bin called their IceCubby Holder. It can hold 4 of the large size spheres 2.5" or the square cubes 2.25" at a time. If you have the smaller spheres, I can put 2 side by side in there, and fit about 10 at a time in this ice holder.
I have been storing mine in quart size freezer bags, and while that works, it is much nicer to have them in a storage container like this one. They stay fresh, no more freezer taste either. You know what I'm talking about. That stale freezer taste that isn't so pleasant. Blech!
In the photo below, you can see ones I've transferred from a storage bag, and how they are a little misshapen, and have added ice crystals on them.
In case you are wondering what in the world these spheres I made, have in them, the first one has chia seeds, the second and fourth both have chia seeds with a liquid supplement called chloroxygen, and the third one is orange juice with chia. They are all delicious, and a different way to get some chia in my diet. :)
Now that I have this ice holder , I can keep 4 in this, while I make 4 more in the ice sphere molds. Still, I'd love for them to create a larger one that holds at least 8 at a time. Maybe even more, as I'd love to make these on a much larger scale.
You can use this container for other things if you wish. It is BPA Free, Food Grade Silicone, and has no noticeable odor at all. This is important to me since I have chemical sensitivities, and was pleasantly surprised that this is odor free. It is silicone, the whole thing, so it is completely flexible if that matters to you. It might if you want to do what I'm doing right now, and creating an ice log, lol. Yep! I just had to try it, and will post photos when I finish it. I think you also might be able to use jello in it to make a jello log. Of course, it will be flat on one side, but that makes it easier to cut! :)
If you don't have any of their other products, you might want to check them out. They have a nice selection of kitchen items at their website PraticoGoods. Stop in and take a look if you have a few moments. Picnic blankets, bamboo cutting board, silicone items for the kitchen, dry bags etc. If you don't have any ice spheres, and aren't familiar with them, you might want to read this.
